The Luftwaffe reports that the Soviets keep on throwing their bombers into action. This causes the loss of planes and pilots on the Soviet side, without Axis losses. However, the oil fields at Ploesti gets bombed (one oil point lost). Heeresgruppe S�d continues the advance, but meets stiff resistance around Kiev:

The "Reichswetterdienst" reports rain over Russia. During a combined impulse, the Kriegsmarine succesfully attacks the CW convoys in the FarOes Gap, sinking 5 CP and aborting 1. Kiev falls and only one hex needs to be taken by the Wehrmacht to make sure that 3 more resources reach the German factories...

The weather becomes worst. The Kriegsmarine, coping with storms, can't find any more CW convoys in the next combined impulse:

Heeresgruppe Nord awaits orders. Rommel is getting impatient, but von Bock is clear: no orders means no movement. Remember: advance with caution...

Generalfeldmarschall Gert von Rundstedt orders an attack. Even with mud and storms, the railroad is save to get the precious resources to Germany when this attack succeeds without losses on the German side:

In Northern China, Terauchi eliminates the Chungking MIL. But the Sian MIL started moving and is contained by Manchurian and Japanese controlled Chinese rebels.

Great AAR! A Netplay AAR is fun to read because it flows so nicely. (PBEMs are fun too, but there's more back-and-forth about die rolls, what to include, etc.) Please keep posting!

The Axis lost the initiative for the Juli-August 1941 turn and decided not to reroll. After the first impulse of the turn, Heeresgruppe Nord reports the Soviet army retreating further...

The German high command, wanting to keep pressure on the Soviet forces, decide to blow the offensive chit to make sure the Luftwaffe keeps up with the frontlines. But than: a setback at Smolensk: a 5 was rolled, resulting in the disorganisation of the German attackers but even worse: the city wasn't taken. And that when the defenders were disorganised...

In the south, groundstrikes were made, however, apart from Kharkov the results were below par. All other hexes attacked left one defender organized. Also, land combats seem to result in the Soviet forces escaping destruction. The Shattered result without losses seems to be the magic outcome of the die rolls...

After the next couple of impulses, Heeresgruppe Nord is stalled, due to the failed attack at Smolensk. Rommel himself races south to take charge of the mess. Meanwhile in Karelia, Finnish forces push forward south...

Heeresgruppe S�d attacks Kharkov. Another bad roll (a 5 on a +16 attack) results in half of the army attacking the city getting disorganised. Again, Soviet losses are avoided. Guderian is forced to reorganise the army to make sure the momentum doesn't get lost for next impulse.

Japanese bomber pilots, returning from another strategic bombardment raid on Chungking, reports the destruction of the last oil tanks. Together with the occupation of the Burma Road by Japanese mountain troops, this means that the Chinese have no fuel left...

After the next couple of impulses, turn ends (30% chance). But not without another Axis defeat. A +9 attack at the Rostov ends in another 5... Hex not taken and a MECH gets lost (because the Soviets choose the Blitzkrieg table). Let's say that the OKW isn't pleased with how events took place this summer...
